Questions about this building

Does 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan had 2 open violations on October 10, 2026: 2 from OATH/ECB. None is Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 2 Class C violations, all 2 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on November 16, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 3 active DOB violations. The newest was issued March 13, 2026. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan been in housing court?

Yes. 1 housing court case here, opened in 2005. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 5 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed March 12, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

When was the boiler at 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan last inspected?

On June 11, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

Its 2 buildings had all filed by December 4, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

When was 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1890 as the year 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a hotel with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 7 residential units at 48 West 17 Street, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
